Why are my Accounts Payable entries not automatically posting in General Ledger or Job Cost?
Description
Cause

This may be caused by one or more of the following:

  • In Accounts Payable, the Accounts Payable Posting Setting is set to Manual (File, Company Settings, AP Settings, Post and Interface Settings).
    • Because Change Invoices can be used to edit unposted as well as posted invoices, entries will not automatically post to interfacing applications even if those applications are set to Automatic in the Accounts Payable Post and Interface Settings. The Accounts Payable Posting Setting must also be set to Automatic for the automatic posting to occur in the interfacing applications.
  • Invoices were deleted. Entries from deleting invoices will not automatically post in interfacing applications, regardless of the Post and Interface Settings.
  • Checks were voided. Entries from voiding checks will not automatically post in interfacing applications, regardless of the Post and Interface Settings.
  • Invoices were entered and posted with Create Entries to Job Cost deselected in File, Company Settings, AP Settings, Post and Interface Settings.
Resolution
  • For future postings, change the Accounts Payable posting setting to Automatic (File, Company Settings, AP Settings, Post and Interface Settings).
  • To post the existing entries that did not automatically post, in General Ledger and/or Job Cost go to Tasks, select Post Entries, then click Start.
  • Manually enter the transactions in Job Cost using Tasks, Enter Direct Cost or delete and re-enter invoices in Accounts Payable (this must be done with the Create Entries to Job Cost turned off when you delete the invoice, and the Create Entries to Job Cost turned on when you re-enter the invoice).
